The first thing that found best TO do
when became an actual houskesper on my
own account, SO to say, was to establish
system aud set Of rules growing out Of the
requirements Of the houshoId. Meals must
be at such hours; servants must be assigned
TO certain days, this day to the washing
and those days to the ironing, this day 10
the silver cleaning and similar work, and
that to tho care Of halls and parlors. The
next imperative necessity, need hardly
say, was to find place for everything, and
to sac that everything was kept in its place !;
and having satisfied myself At last With n
cook who never wasted particle, whose
spotiess and orderly closets are perpetual
pleasure, who loves new recipe who keeps
the run Of provisions. and q housemail
whose pride Is in dark corners and speckless
windows, housekeeping has become, 40 far
as am concerned, as much play as IL used
to be IN the old burial place. can hardly
state anything else except that have made
II a practice to let my servants do their
work in their own way and at their own
best convenience, only requiring IL to be
done, and always trying to respect their
idiosyncrasies. For have found that, II
one wants happy home, one must endeav.

| Treatment ilsc one Thing Nocaed.
4 gentleman who has made study Of
horses and their characteristics for years
and who is the owner Of number Of fine
nnImals, was shown by reporter, an
item that has been going the rounds Of the
/ press about o horse becoming insane.
- do not belisve there Is any such thing
as Insanity among horses" he said "a
horse may become Wild and unmana9eable
from pain, such as the toothache, or be-
cause Of cruel and brutal treatment or
fright, but II is only temporary affection.
But | will not deny that many horses are
natural fools. have in fact seen many
such on which there was no dependence,
and Characteristic of which is the taking
up of a mouthful of hay and tossing il
about, making frequently no headway IN
eating. Such horses show no affection,
and a stranger can drive them as readily as
one who has handled them for years, which
Is not the case with an intelligent horse.
One thing that makes horse nervous are
these fancy curb bits, which hurt con-
siderably, aud l attribute great deal of this
s'-cailed yiciousness TO these coItrivances.
No, sir, do not even believe in natural
siciousness in horse. To ill-tTeatment
this is all.due. Take high-strung neryous
morse and It does not require much ih-treat-
men' to mEke him vicious. | have seen

Dus' .he moment they would see me take up
STICK or whip would at once seem to
DhaiiSe 'neir dispositions and try TO jump
upon me and otherwise do me harm. Out
west this summer came across black
morse which had killed three men, and which
worked six mates TO death. He was worked
.weive years day and night on a stage coach
ne would trainple both men aud his mates 10
sssath the moment they came too near him.
itl't he was ill-treated, brutally treated, all
1het tme Why, every time they put harness
on nun they would keep him goaded with
pitcniork so that lie trembled with fear all

A Discouraged Shah.

The Merry correspondent of the Jour-
,oI les DebatS writes: Everybody in
persia admits that the shah is animated
hr ,be best intentions. and that he
,copld restore to his country its ancient
snlendors; but at the same time every
body sees that his good intentions are
Seyer carried out, and that no sovereign
aver met with less support. Such is the
encouragement of the shah that he has
completely given up control of the state,
inst as he allows the fortified walls sur
Trounding his residence to crumble and
fall into the bitches. During our sojourn
IN Teheran we witnessed the curious
sneetacle of the minister of fine arts
taking possession of one of the out
bindings OF the palace, and declaring
mat he would not leave until the salary
due him was paid The shah, who
loves a good joke has the obstinate yizier
well taken care of, and asks him every
time he meets him on his walks whether
he is satisfied with the cuisine The
vizier declares that it is excellent, and
swears that he will end his days near
the person of his majesty. His majesty
laughs, thanks him, and proceeds on his
walk. Would to heaven that this
comedy may not end in tragedy! This is
\ fair example of the condition of things
in general. The wages of the soldiers
are source of income to the colonies,
who send three-fourths of the men on
furlough and pocket their wages, The
lower officers allow the soldiers to prac-
tice profession on condition that they
divide the proceeds with them. Many
soldier who guards in the evening the
door of the palace in the morning sold
lettuce in the streets, or patched slippers
in the shadow of mosque"
